  1. Re:Only cool until Apple lowers the axe on Latest Version of iPodLinux Reviewed · · Score: 1

    In the article it sounds like the software uploads a hacked firmware to the iPod anyway, so perhaps a firmware fix will not be a way for Apple to kill this opportunity?

  2. Re:Thumb drives on Banks Begin To Use RSA Keys · · Score: 1

    So you mean a thumb drive to plug in to your thumb drive in order to gain access to your RSA key?

  3. Re:Select surivivors NOW on Introducing Asteroid 2004 MN4 · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this "asteroid" was launched by the Ruskies? We must launch our own! We cannot have an "asteroid gap!"

  4. Re:What's the deal with this Santa...? on Ho, Ho, Ho · · Score: 1

    Would you rather ruin a child's hope with talk of wars and politics and poverty and the like, or would you rather give them something to believe in? I'd rather see a child smiling with hope that a big fat guy in red velvet is coming to deliver presents than be stressed by the issues plaguing the world. Children can only grow up so fast, and Santa is one of the things that keeps young children happy and full of hope.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

  5. Re:People who do that sort of thing... on Rage Against the Machines · · Score: 3, Funny

    Which can be translated to "I for one welcome our new machine overlords."

  6. Re:5MB on Latest "iPod Killer" Takes Aim at the Mini · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's nothing! Back in my day, there was only 5MB of music in the entire world, and we liked it that way!

  7. Re:Who cares? on On the Ethics of a Code Split? · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up! His ideas are forking wonderful!

  8. Re:WOW! Now it's cheap! on SCO Shares Plunge, Canopy Management Change · · Score: 5, Funny

    1,000 SCO shares.. The perfect gift for your in-laws for Christmas!

  9. Re:Test? on Burt Rutan On Future Of SpaceShipOne (and Two) · · Score: 1

    Yes, yes it is.

  10. Re:I mod this story... on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since they say that Paint.NET is the Anti-GIMP, if I install both this software and The GIMP at the same time, will my laptop explode?

  11. Re:Obligatory on Skunkworks At Apple -- The Graphing Calculator Story · · Score: 1

    Gah, you just broke the first two rules!

  12. Re:Speed of the Brain on DNA For Information Processing and Data Storage · · Score: 1

    Perhaps in your case, yes, but for everybody else, the brain is the most powerful computer around. Millions of "transistors" with millions of paths between them combine to form a computer on your shoulders far faster than anything you can possibly have on your desk.

  13. Re:I have a good one on Canary Wireless Digital Hotspotter Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Hrm, it seems I didn't word that right... The poster was saying that if you already have a palm with wifi in your posession, the software would only cost you $12.

  14. Re:I have a good one on Canary Wireless Digital Hotspotter Reviewed · · Score: 1
    Unfortunately the $12 quoted doesn't include the WiFi card:

    But if you already have a palm with wi-fi, it's a cheap ($12.00) fun toy.
  15. Re:Who? on Knoppix To Split Into 'Light,' 'Maximum' Versions · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming you're referring to the possibility of putting a swap file on a FAT partition, where Knoppix creates a file of user-specified size to use as swap on one of your partitions. After you're done with Knoppix, the file can simply be deleted.

  16. ThinkGeek on Really Stylish PCs and Peripherals · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look at some of ThinkGeek's peripherals. I particularly like their mini wireless mice, though those are more for laptop applications. They carry some really nice Logitech keyboards and mice which are both stylish and functional.

  17. Re:I figured that out last week on Google Suggest Dissected · · Score: 1

    Excellent work! Very useful! Is this going to stay up, or do you plan on taking it down after you've had your fun with it?

  18. Re:Not really new on Automatic Christmas Music · · Score: 1

    Haha, I love how this is informative! Thanks for shedding the light on the truth behind the anti-music!

  19. Re:Waiting for the XBOX to run Longhorn on ReactOS Runs On The XBox · · Score: 1

    I reckon you'll need a beowulf cluster of Xbo.... ahh, nevermind.

  20. Re:Next question: on ReactOS Runs On The XBox · · Score: 1

    Slightly OT, but does the "My Computer" icon in that screenshot look anything like a Mac to anybody else? Does this mean that I'd be committing heresy if I were to install it over Windows?

  21. Re:Competition or Redundancy? on EU Presses Ahead With Galileo GPS System · · Score: 1

    According to the article, this is backwards compatible with our GPS system, so while having the capacity to be a little competitive, possibly offering features of its' own, this is really benefitting everybody involved.

  22. Re:What's a queue? on Sony PSP Launched With Long Queues In Akihabara · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Enough with the use of the "hours" measurement for battery life, I want to hear the actual battery energy in "burning libraries of congress!"

  23. Re:Delivery vehicles on Solar-Powered Autonomous Underwater Vehicles · · Score: 1

    They're "Autonomous Underwater Vehicles." Many of the existing AUV's are preprogrammed and surface later to be recovered by researchers after they have collected their data or need to be recharged. This has the advantage of not having to have a larger vessel up on the surface controlling the vehicle and tying up more resources.

  24. Re:Good move! on Penn State Tells Students To Ditch IE · · Score: 1

    It would be great if not only colleges but public school districts made more decisions like this, or at least encouraged the use of another browser. In our district, schools don't run Firefox simply because "the district doesn't support it." This means that web design classes, which should be switching more from the "do your HTML for flaws in IE" frame-of-mind to the "make it standards compliant and work with everything" mindset. Kind of makes you wonder what will happen once these students get out into the real world and their designs don't work under Firefox for their boss... Thank you, education.

  25. Re:iSmell on Online Aromatherapy in Japan · · Score: 1

    You've been waiting for months to use "olphactory" in a sentence, haven't you.
